Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the RES+button once will result in a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 km/h.

the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
To Decrease Speed
• When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can decrease speed by pushing the
SET-button.
The speed decrement shown is dependant on the chosen speed unit of U.S. (mph) or
Metric (km/h):

COMMAND-TRAC®/ROCK-TRAC®
The transfer case provides four mode
positions: 2H (Two-wheel drive high
range), 4H (Four-wheel drive high range),
N (Neutral), and 4L (Four-wheel drive low
range).
The transfer case is intended to be driven
in the 2H position for normal street and
highway conditions such as hard-surfaced
roads.
Shifting Between 2H And 4H
Shifting between 2H and 4H can be
made with the vehicle stopped or in mo-
tion. Shift the transfer case lever firmly to
4H at any speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
Shifting Between 4H And 4L (Automatic Transmission)
Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph
(3 to 5 km/h). Shift the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL then shift the transfer
case lever firmly to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL). Once the
shift is completed, place the automatic transmission into DRIVE.
Shifting Between 4H And 4L (Manual Transmission)
Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph
(3 to 5 km/h). Fully depress the clutch pedal and shift the transfer case lever firmly
to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL). Once the shift is completed,
release the clutch pedal.
NOTE:
To enhance off-road performance in 4L mode, manual transmission vehicles will start
regardless of whether or not the clutch pedal is depressed.

Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you leave the vehicle unattended with the
transfer case in the NEUTRAL (N) position without first fully engaging the parking
brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both the front and
rear drive shaft from the powertrain, and will allow the vehicle to roll, even if the
automatic transmission is in PARK (or manual transmission is in gear). The
parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.
CAUTION!
It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in
NEUTRAL (N) before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL or depress the clutch pedal on a
manual transmission.
4. Turn the engine OFF.
5. Shift the transfer case lever into NEUTRAL (N).
6. Start the engine.
7. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.
8. Release the brake pedal (and clutch pedal on manual transmissions) for five
seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle movement.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 with automatic transmission in DRIVE or manual transmis-
sion in first gear.
10. Turn the engine OFF.
11. Firmly apply the parking brake.
12. Shift the transmission into PARK or place manual transmission in gear (NOT in
NEUTRAL).
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the transmission is shifted into PARK
with the transfer case in NEUTRAL (N) and the engine running. With the transfer
case in NEUTRAL (N) ensure that the engine is OFF before shifting the transmis-
sion into PARK.

13. Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar.
14. Release the parking brake.
Shifting Out of NEUTRAL (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for normal usage.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, leaving it connected to the tow vehicle.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position, but do not start the engine.
5. Press and hold the brake pedal.
6. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
7. Shift the transfer case lever to the desired position.
NOTE:
When shifting the transfer case out of NEUTRAL (N), the engine should remain OFF
to avoid gear clash.
8. Shift the automatic transmission into PARK, or place manual transmission in
NEUTRAL.
9. Release the brake pedal.
10. Disconnect vehicle from the tow vehicle.
11. Start the engine.
12. Press and hold the brake pedal.
13. Release the parking brake.
14. Shift the transmission into gear, release the brake pedal (and clutch pedal on
